Nobody likes a dirty toothbrush, but in college dorm living with the constant trips to the community bathroom and keeping your bathroom supplies in your dorm, having a clean toothbrush can be tough. Most students will simply keep their brush in a travel toothbrush holder, which for trips is completely fine, but for everyday use that can get nasty. With no dishwasher to clean the travel case, you'll soon wonder if your toothbrush is making mouth dirtier. With our UV Toothbrush Sanitizer & Holder that has all changed! Keeping your brush clean is as easy as placing it in the holder, while the advanced technology ensures your brush is clean. What it is?
